I’m loyal and respectful enough with the people I care. Isn’t that enough?

Nope, you need to actually meet people, do stuff, talk, go places etc. Simply existing and “being nice” is not enough.

Then you need some friends. On the how to acquire one, there are a few ways. One of the most effective outside of school or work is to join some club, some class or some sport activity. For instance, I joined a latin dance class lately (salsa, bachata) and I’ve met lots of very friendly people. Every Friday they also organize a night out to some local clubs to dance, and there you can meet lots of other people with a similar interest. It’s just an example though, pick something interesting, join a group of people etc.

You just need to be proactive. Staying all day in your room commiserating yourself is definitely not sexy

So you spend your entire day either working/studying or staring at a blank wall?

Btw, it doesn’t really matter if you do something actually interesting, it’s the attitude that counts. I’ve tried doing the same thing/going to the same event with different people, some very positive and outgoing, and some very negative, and the experience has been very very different.

If your attitude is “I’m not interesting, and I don’t do anything interesting” then guess what, you won’t be interesting to anyone around you. Btw, going to the pub for a beer can be very interesting. Walking somewhere can be interesting.

It felt like we, as a society, had so much optimism for the world that was to come. So, if anything, I think that’s what I’m mostly nostalgic for. I was so excited to grow up in that world. Damn.

As with anything regarding the past, there’s a lot of rose-tinted glasses going on. Be careful what you wish for

That seems overkill

Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.

If you have time then try working out and doing sports. It sounds asinine, but I’ve found that exerting yourself increases your levels of energy in the long term. Even something small, a little bit at a time will be greatly beneficial. Also try doing it with someone else and try having an active social life that will motivate you to go out of the house and stop spending all the evening alone on the couch watching YouTube (which is really detrimental, ask me how I know it).

Like the Romans said “mens sana in corpore sano” (you need a healthy body to have a healthy mind)

I mean, it’s great for audio and video chats. What I never understood is why people started using discord as a forum, as documentation or as some kind of program (like, why is Midjourney on a public discord chat? It’s probably the worst possible interface).

Discord is excellent for chatting with your friends while playing games, and that’s it.

I don’t think that’s realistic. Even the guy at the local market shouting “get your potatoes here” is technically advertisement.

What could work instead is to make both the company that advertises and the one that displays the ad liable for the ad itself. If it’s inappropriate, contains malware or is in any way malicious, the company displaying it should also be liable for endangering the customers. Also outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes altogether

bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

They check all Imperial criteria:

• confusing names
• some used only in some systems
• size depends on where you are
• some may overlap
• doesn’t manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
• would probably cause you to crash a rocket

Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)

The number of job applications using Java as a shorthand for Javascript…

Yes, but I’m not sure if we want to open the “programming language can of worms”.

There’s B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

Used Ricoh laser. Enterprise grade quality, just works

Ok, I’m a c# developer and I use async await quite extensively. Is it different in JS? Or am I missing something?

Because 42

I’d wager that it will get pushed to 2026, release half broken, good to play in 2027

Yeah, proper documentation is not done with comments in code, but it’s a project in and of itself. Proper documentation is also fucking hard and I have no idea how people (in open source projects) can do it. It’s so fucking boring and tedious, especially when there are a million interesting problems you could tackle instead. Mad respect for people writing documentation, seriously.

I also hate writing comments and prefer to just write out everything in code.

Mino-taur -> taurus -> bull

Hate to break it to you, but that’s a different kind of “milk” then what you might be thinking of.

Take Twitter, change the logo.svg file, change the main color from blue to black, Ctrl+F all instances of Twitter, replace with X. Done

I mean, I bet it would just be impressive enough for Musk. The biggest hurdle would probably be getting the update through the AppStore in just one day.

edit: apparently they’ve already change the logo file on the website (at least in the login screen, I don’t have an account)
